Subject:Pull engine and tranny together?

I'm putting in a rebuilt engine so I need to pull the old one out. I also
need to replace all the coolant hoses, the AT cooler, the seal between the
final drive and the auto tranny unit, and regrease the CV joints. Looking
at all this, it sounds like I have to pretty much unbolt every dang thing
anyway, so why not pull the whole thing at once? Loosen the front tranny
mount, lower the engine end onto the dolly,  then move the jack and lower
the other end. Am I taking the easy way out, or am I going to end up
wrestling with a five foot long 400 pound monster?
